Eveline Kotai and Giles Hohnen
Art Collective WA presents new works by renowned Western Australian artists Giles Hohnen and Eveline Kotai. Known for his bold, spontaneous approach to composition and form, Giles has developed a series of paintings featuring vibrant, overlaid shapes on handmade canvas covered boards. Eveline exhibits a series of her distinctive stitched paintings, where she deconstructs her artworks into slender strips and skilfully reassembles them with a sewing machine and invisible thread, resulting in unexpected colour, pattern and textural combinations.
16 September—14 October
